You'll need a chromatic harmonica, as there's a Bb and a B natural to be played. A diatonic in Eb or Bb would give the Bb, but not the B. The tune is moving in and out of C minor.

is played on a Bb diatonic (SP20), with tabs. But it does use a bunch of bends (3' 3'' 4' 6''). Of course if playing along you could use any key of harmonica; it would just sound higher or lower with the same tab.

A chromatic lets you play the accidentals without bending.

I've learned from other questions that tremolo harmonica is popular in Asia for its ability to handle melodies, but I don't have any experience with that kind.

Looks like you asked the same thing on seldane.proboards.com/thread/6009/harmonica-used-sora-kiseki and got some good answers.
